Today's Shave
Razor: Wade and Butcher Celebrated, Barber notch:
Blade Prep: Started by working on the SRP Paddle, CrOx strop. Used 100X optical and for the first time I could see that the bevel was well defined but the edge appeared striated and jagged.
Used the Crox Paddle stop until I could see that it had cleaned the edge and made it look smooth and well defined. I don't know how many very carefully done laps.
SRP Premium 1 Strop. 100 laps.
Shave Prep:
Hot shower, Neutrogena rubbed into whiskers
Warm AOS oil
BD Scuttle
Hand made badger
Taylor Almond Shave cream
Wade and Butcher Barbers notch
AOS Aluminum
Gentleman's Best After shave Milk.
What a great shave. I was thrilled that I could get the edge like that. Now I need to buy a hone set and learn to set bevels.
I went off and took a nice drive. Figured I try to get another good photo.
